Copying from Libre Office to Hotmail

[Luddite1958]

Hi

I just wrote a long and important email in Office function in order spell check and edit easily before sending. I right clicked on it and copied in order to then paste it into Hotmail to send as an email. But none of the text is appearing in the email I’ve created.

All that is appears is a blank box with some red ‘underlines’ (red squiggles). I click on the ‘squiggles’ and a single word appears. The squiggle is the high lighting of a disputed spelling (British English vs US English).

Further, if I double left click some sections of text appear, but disappear if I double click further down the screen. It’s almost like there’s some sort of overlay that’s hiding the text from view. What’s going on with this basic function not operating?

I recently got advised by a pop up to update to a latest version 6. something, which I did and have tried changing the format of the file from .ODF to Word 365 but the problem persists.

It seems that what you have done is copy the .odt formatting of your document into the e-mail. I think it might be more simple (less complex and trouble-free) if you simply highlight the text your want to copy from your LibreOffice document, then press Ctrl-C. Then open your e-mail program and the e-mail that you want to send, then press Ctrl-V to paste the text into the body of your e-mail message. In my experience, this copies only the text and none of the LibreOffice formatting (which is probably not understood by your e-mail program).

I don’t use Hotmail, but A then C While in the document. Move to your compose window in Hot Mail. V

This works for me in Version 6.4.1, Windows 10, Thunderbird and in Gmail. It should work in Hotmail also.

It can be helpful if you tell us your operating system and Version of LO
